Tool Tips: Smartphone uses, power snake holder, baseboard heating element
Have a smartphone? Why not put it to even more use. The next time you’re making like a contortionist, reaching to see the back side of a fitting or anything you can’t get your head behind ... use your phone. Also, I find pictures especially helpful when I go to write estimates.
Turn on your smartphone’s camera in front-facing mode and aim your camera where your head can’t be. You can then use your phone’s display as the perfect mirror. You also can use the front-facing camera to take pictures of hard-to-see items while in the field.
